Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 75On the Lupas q-analogue of the Bernstein Operator(Rocky Mt Math Consortium, 2006) Ostrovska, SofiyaLet R-n(f,q;x) : C[0, 1] -> C[0, 1] be q-analogues of the Bernstein operators defined by Lupas in 1987. If q = 1, then R-n (f, 1; x) are classical Bernstein polynomials. For q not equal 1, the operators R-n (f, q; x) are rational functions rather than polynomials. The paper deals with convergence properties of the sequence {R-n (f, q; x)}. It is proved that {R-n (f, q(n); x)} converges uniformly to f(x) for any f(x) is an element of C[0, 1] if and only if q(n) -> 1. In the case q > 0, q not equal 1 being fixed the sequence I R. (f, q; x) I converges uniformly to f(x) is an element of C[0, 1] if and only if f(x) is linear.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Convergence of Economic Growth and Health Expenditures in Oecd Countries: Evidence From Non-Linear Unit Root Tests(Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Celik, Esref Ugur; Omay, Tolga; Tengilimoglu, DilaverIntroductionThe relationship between human capital, health spending, and economic growth is frequently neglected in the literature. However, one of the main determinants of human capital is health expenditures, where human capital is one of the driving forces of growth. Consequently, health expenditures affect growth through this link. MethodsIn the study, these findings have been attempted to be empirically tested. Along this axis, health expenditure per qualified worker was chosen as an indicator of health expenditure, and output per qualified worker was chosen as an indicator of economic growth. The variables were treated with the convergence hypothesis. Due to the non-linear nature of the variables, the convergence hypothesis was carried out with non-linear unit root tests. ResultsThe analysis of 22 OECD countries from 1976 to 2020 showed that health expenditure converged for all countries, and there was a significant degree of growth convergence (except for two countries). These findings show that health expenditure convergence has significantly contributed to growth convergence. DiscussionPolicymakers should consider the inclusiveness and effectiveness of health policies while making their economic policies, as health expenditure convergence can significantly impact growth convergence. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this relationship and identify specific health policies most effective in promoting economic growth.Article Citation - WoS: 126Citation - Scopus: 136Convergence of Generalized Bernstein Polynomials(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2002) Il'inskii, A; Ostrovska, SLet f is an element of C[0, 1], q is an element of (0, 1), and B-n(f, q; x) be generalized Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers. These polynomials were introduced by G. M. Phillips in 1997. We study convergence properties of the sequence {B-n(f, q; x)}(n=1)(infinity). It is shown that in general these properties are essentially different from those in the classical case q = 1.

Unlike the situation when alpha is an element of (0, 1) \ {q(-j)} j is an element of N, in the case when alpha = q(-m), m is an element of N, the type of singularity has a decisive effect on the set where a function can be approximated. In the latter event, depending on the types of singularities, three classes of functions have been examined, and it has been found that the possibility of approximation varies considerably for these classes.
